name: review-task description: Review a completed implementation task before push/PR. Validates issue-spec acceptance criteria, scope, tests, docs, and lint readiness on a local branch. Use when asked to verify issue completion without an open PR. metadata: author: torrust version: "1.0"

Reviewing A Task (Pre-PR)

Use this skill when there is no pull request yet and the goal is to verify that implementation for an issue/task is complete and ready to be pushed.

Preconditions

• An issue spec exists (typically under docs/issues/open/).
• Local changes are available on the branch.
• No PR review workflow is required yet.

Workflow

1. Read the issue spec and extract acceptance criteria.
2. Map each criterion to concrete evidence in changed files/tests.
3. Run relevant validation checks (linter all minimum, plus focused tests when applicable).
4. Classify each criterion as PASS, FAIL, or PENDING.
5. Update only verified checklist items in the issue spec.
6. Report pass/fail with remediation for any gaps.

Task Review Checklist

Scope And Criteria

• Issue spec path is identified.
• Acceptance criteria are fully listed.
• Claimed implementation scope matches actual changes.
• No scope creep beyond what the issue asks.

Verification

• Each acceptance criterion has objective evidence.
• Required tests/lint checks pass.
• Docs updates are present when behavior changed.
• New terms are added to project-words.txt when needed.

Spec Hygiene

• Only verified checklist items are marked done.
• Workflow checkpoints reflect pre-PR status correctly.
• Progress log includes meaningful, factual updates.

Output

Return:

1. Scope reviewed
2. Acceptance criteria matrix (PASS/FAIL/PENDING + evidence)
3. Blocking findings
4. Issue spec updates made
5. Overall result (REVIEW PASSED or REVIEW FAILED)

Not In Scope

• Reviewing an open pull request (use review-pr for that).
• Publishing review comments to a PR.
• Merging or closing PRs.
